Being 'fat but fit' typically leads to worse heart health than being 'normal' weight and getting no exercise, a study has warned.
Experts from Spain analysed health data on more than 520,000 adults — and found that exercise does help reduce the risk of developing hypertension and diabetes.
However, they concluded, being overweight leads to a significantly higher risk of having both a heart attack or a stroke. 
In fact, the team added, those who were active and obese were around twice as likely to have high cholesterol than inactive, 'normal' weight people.
